This really sounds like the lug nuts were NOT torqued to spec. When the wheel starts to wobble the lug nuts start removing aluminum. This makes it impossible to torque later. The wheel sounds like it's done. Be sure to fully inspect the studs for damage. With Aluminum wheels all lug nuts must be properly tightened. Steel wheels are more forgiving.
I have done this type of damage on my offroad Jeep. Entirely my fault.
I took the truck in had new Vision wheels and new tires installed.
Drove approx.5mi. home checked the torque with a Snap-on torque wrench and brought to 150 lbs. none were loose it left the shop with about 100-125 lbs. (just a guess).
I then took it to get the front aligned and have them check the wheels for balancing as they had no weights, they found that a balancing beads were used when they checked ( I assume they only had to check one tire to determine this).
I then drove 2 miles home and rechecked the torque that is when I found the problem on the right front wheel with the 2 lugs.
So this is what is leading me to believe that it was done with a lug gun at the alignment shop. I don't think I have put 50 mi.on the truck since I got the wheels.
